Modern sterling silver jewelry imported from mass-manufacturers in China—especially from high-volume brands—is almost always finished with a thin layer of rhodium electroplating. Manufacturers apply this plating to provide:

Tarnish Resistance: Raw silver oxidizes and turns black over time; rhodium shields it from air and skin oils.

Brilliant Shine: Rhodium belongs to the platinum family and offers a highly reflective, mirror-like finish that mirrors white gold.

Scratch Protection: Rhodium is a much harder metal than silver, protecting the soft underlying band from daily wear and tear.

Please note that any plating wears off with use and time.

All jewelry in the Vintage collection has been carefully inspected, cleaned, and polished before being offered for sale.

Some pieces have also been repaired or restored to give them a second life. In certain cases, a stone has been replaced. Any work performed on a piece is clearly noted in its product description.

As vintage items, some pieces may show minor signs of age and wear, which are considered part of their history and unique character.
